Comment on US broadband grant rules shut out small ISPs and municipalities, advocates say

They constantly pocket it, in addition to their profits, and refuse to expand their networks because it’s expensive to dig holes and lay down wire.
Not sure how we did it before. Not sure how we built roads, or telecommunications, or railroads. Maybe our ancestors were magical or something.

I mean there were laws and protections that basically hark back to the days after unionization, which wars were fought for.
People take for granted all of the laws and protections in place, forgetting we had to basically fight a civil war just to get weekends and a standard 8 hour work day. We were even getting close to unions talking about owning the means of production (socialism) but that obviously never came to fruition as the government/Capitalists quickly realized placating the unions with their wish list would be far better for them in the long run then them getting any funny ideas about actual wealth ownership for the common man or good.
